What Are (Gelatin Free) Vegan Marshmallows?

As consumers become more aware of the dangers of eating meat, and animal byproducts, there has been an increase in the demand for plant based versions of some favorite foods.

With the introduction of soy based meat alternatives, what options are available for those who still want to enjoy sweet treats without harming animals and their health in the process?

For those who love marshmallows, there are several vegan choices available. From Trader Joe’s vegan marshmallows to popular Dandies, these are just a few easy places to buy vegan marshmallows and enjoy them more often.

What Is Gelatin? (Ewww yuck..)

One of the most unpleasant aspects for vegans who enjoy marshmallows is that regular marshmallows are made with gelatin.

Gelatin is a protein that is obtained through the process of boiling bones, ligaments, tendons and other byproducts from animals in water. These byproducts are typically obtained from pigs or cows, but can also be obtained from chickens.

Gelatin is not only used in marshmallows, it is also used in other commonly used products like shampoos, cakes, ice cream, cosmetics and as coating on capsules and vitamins. However, agar agar that is sometimes referred to as vegan ‘gelatin’. It is made from seaweed.
